BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Diagnosis of body disorders and diseases increasingly relies upon clinical laboratory analysis of body fluids such as blood, serum, urine and the like by photometric means, generally carried out by passing a selected wavelength of light through a fluid sample toward a photocell before, during or after a particular reagent or test solution is added. An electric meter connected to the photocell provides a measurement of the optical transmission of the sample being tested. In order to provide the greatest accuracy and reading of optical density or color, it is desired that the light be generated, passed through the solution and received by the photocell without distortion or diffusion caused by glass containers, tubes or the like. Thus, a diagnostic unit having a probe in which is contained a light source and a light receiving source spaced therefrom would be highly valuable to a doctor or a clinical laboratory.
'The technique described in the preceding paragraph can be used for many diagnostic tests, such as the cholesterol, glucose, uric acid, hemoglobin, S.G.O.T.,
S.G.P.T., and so on. The unit of the present invention permits clinical tests, such as those listed above, to be fice, and without the need for skilled clinical technicians or extraneous calculations.
- The diagnostic unit to be described, for example, in,- cludes a plurality of incubation wells, which are established either at room temperature, for example, or at normal body temperature of 37+C. The appropriate reagent for each test is supplied in pre-packaged vials or test tubes. To conduct any particular test, the patient's fluid is pipetted into the appropriate reagent, and the test tube containing the resulting solution is incubated, if desired, for that particular test. A transparent slide member corresponding to the test to be conducted is then slipped across the face of the diagnostic unit, and the selected slide member has a transparent portion which is positioned in front of the photometer electric meter.
The transparent slide may also have a second portion on which operating instructions for the particular test are inscribed. The slide member provides a properly calibrated scale for the meter in correspondence with the test being conducted. It will be understood, of course, that other slides are available with the diagnostic unit for the other tests to be conducted thereby.
The electric meter may have a mirror behind its pointer to avoid errors due to parallax. When such a mirror backing is provided, the operator merely lines up the meter pointer and its reflection with the corresponding scale indicia on the slide to obtain the proper accurate reading.
When the transparent slide member corresponding to the particular test is moved into place in the diagnostic unit, it has a notch which engages a projection on an optical filter wheel, or the like, and which automatically moves the wheel so that an optical filter appropriate for the particular test being conducted is moved into place in the optical path of the photometer. If no filter is required for a particular test, no filter is positioned in the optical path when the slide member corresponding to that test is slipped into place. That is, such a slide member causes the filter wheel to move to a position in which a void is placed in the optical path of the photometer.
After the sample to be tested has been incubated, it is moved by hand up under a downwardly protruding tip of the probe in the diagnostic unit, and the. unit is energized. The resulting output from the photometer is displayed by the aforesaid electric meter, and the scale provided by the particular transparent slide member in the unit provides a direct reading for the particular test being conducted, so that no calculations are required.
To render the probe in the diagnostic unit immune to changes in ambient light conditions, both it and the test tube of the solution being tested may be made of an opaque plastic or glass, or of glass or plastic which is tinted brown, or other suitable color.

FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram of a suitable amplifier for use in the unit.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT The diagnostic unit shown in FIG. 1, for example, includes a bracket 10 which forms a base for the unit, and which also serves as a support for a housing 12. The base portion of the bracket 10 includes, for example, a heat block 14 which includes a first plurality of incubation wells 16, and which may receive individual test tubes of the solutions to be tested, so that the solutions may be incubated, for example, at the normal body temperature of 37C. Another series of wells 18 may also be included in the base 10 to serve as a support for test tubes of solutions which are to be tested, for example, at room temperature.
As indicated above, test tubes may be obtained by the physician which are pre-packaged to contain the reagents required for the various tests. When a particu-. lar test is to be made, the appropriate test tubes are placed in the wells 16 and 18, and the corresponding patients fluid on which the test is to be conducted is pipetted into the test tubes. The test tubes are incuhated to the desired temperature, if required. Then, a test tube containing the solution to be tested is moved up and into a tube 20 depending from the underside of the housing 12 and surrounding the lower end of a probe 22.
The tube 20 forms a light shield for the test tube 24 (FIG. 3) and the solution contained in the test tube and which is to be tested by the unit. Both the test tube and the probe 22 may be composed of opaque or brown tinted glass or plastic, so as to eliminate the effects of ambient light conditions. In this way, although the photometer such as described in the aforesaid copending application Ser. No. 706,112, may be used, there is no need for the light chopper described in the aforesaid copending application in order to nullify the effects of changes in ambient light conditions.
The diagnostic unit is energized by controlling appropriate electric circuits by means of a switch 26 which is mounted on a control panel 12A at one end of the housing 12. Blank adjust and standard adjust controls may also be provided, for example, by knobs 28 and 30.
As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the bracket has a U-shaped upper portion 10A which supports the housing 12. The forward end of the support portion 10A forms a flange, as does the forward edge of a top bracket 31 of the housing 12, so that a replaceable transparent slide member 32 composed, for example, of clear plastic, or equivalent material, may be inserted across the front wall of the housing 12.
The transparent slide member 32 (FIG. 2) is representative of the particular test to be conducted by the diagnostic unit, the test itself being incribed, for example, on the slide member such as S.G.P.T., as shown.- Also, various operating instructions for the particular test may also be inscribed on the replaceable slide member 32.
For any particular test, the physician, for example, selects a slide member 32 corresponding to that test and slips it in place into the unit, such as shown in FIG. 1. The slide member 32, as shown in FIG. 2, for exam ple, contains calibrations 32A which form a scale for the pointer 42A of an electric meter 42. The meter 42 is mounted in the housing 12, and is electrically connected to the probe and its associated amplifier circuits, so as to measure its electrical output. The scale 32A on the slide member 32 provides a properly calibrated scale for the pointer 42A for the particular test represented by the removable member 32, so that a direct reading may be made for that particular test.
The meter 42 may have a mirror on its front face directly back of the pointer 42A, so that a proper reading may be made merely by lining up the pointer 42A with its reflection, and with the corresponding indicia 32A, so that parallax errors may be eliminated.
As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the replaceable slide member 32 is provided with a notch32b, and this notch, as will be described, is effective in positioning the proper filter in the optical path of the probe 20 to correspond to the particular test represented by the replaceable member 32.
Therefore, in order to conduct any particular test, it is merely necessary for the physician to insert the corresponding slide member 32 into the diagnostic unit. The slide member 32 corresponding to that test contains all the instructions necessary for carrying out the test. In addition, the insertion of the slide member 32 automatically places the proper optical filter (or no filter) in the photometer optical path for that test, and automatically provides the properly calibrated scale for the electric meter 42, so that direct readings for the particular test are provided by the meter.
Then, the physician merely inserts the patient's fluid into the proper pre-packaged reagent test tube, and after incubation in the wells 16, if required, the test tube is inserted up into the tube 20, and the meter 42 immediately provides the required measurement on a direct scale.
As more clearly shown in FIG. 3, for example, and in a manner similar to the probe photometer of the copending application Ser. No. 706,112, as shown in FIG. 5, a light guide 50 is provided in the probe 22, and light from an incandescent bulb 52 is directed through a filter unit 54 to the light guide, to be conducted down the light guide 50 to the operating parts of the probe. The
light bulb 52 is mounted in a socket 56 which, in turn, is supported on a bracket 58. The position of the socket 56 and light bulb 52 may be adjusted relative to the bracket 58 by means of a sliding bracket 60, the brackets 60 and 58 being secured together, by means, for example, of a screw 62.
The bracket 58 is supported on a spacer post 64 within the housing 12 by means, for example, of a screw 66, and a bracket 68 for the filter 54 is pivotally supported on the spacer 64 by means of the screw. The bracket 68 has a U-shaped configuration, and its forward portion extends down the front wall of the housing 12 to terminate in a leaf-like extremity 68A.
As shown in FIG. 4, a spring 72 is coupled to the pivotally mounted bracket 68 and to a stationary support bracket 74 which is mounted in the housing 12. The spring 72 biases the bracket 68 in a clockwise direction in FIG. 4, so that the leaf-like member 68A is normally moved to the left to place, for example, a filter A in the optical path of the light bulb 52. However, when a replaceable slide member 32 is moved into position across the front wall of the housing 12, it may have a notch formed therein whose side engages the leaf 68A to swing the bracket 68 in a counterclockwise direction, against the tension of the spring 72, so as to place, for example, a filter B in the optical path from the light 52 to the probe.
Therefore, by properly locating the notches in the different replaceable members 32, either filter A or filter B may be placed in the optical path. It will be appreciated, of course, that additional filters may be included on the pivotal bracket 68, and also that certain filters may be omitted, so as to leave a void space in the bracket for certain positions established by the replaceable slides 32.
A resilient catch is provided at the other end of the housing to hold the slide member 32 in place. When the catch 80 is pressed back out of the way, the spring 72 causes the leaf-like member 68 to move the slide member 32 to the left in FIG. 4 and cause it to move partically out of the housing 12, so as to facilitate its complete removal.
The probe 22 may be constructed in a manner similar to the probe of the aforesaid copending application Ser. No. 706,112, and as shown, for example, in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the probe may include a probe-like member 118 formed, for example, of a glass tube. The glass tube is configured, as described in the copending application so as to define a pair of spaced apart surfaces 119 and 120. However, the original passage through the tube is maintained in an unblocked condition around the deformed section. A photocell 122 of any appropriate type is mounted within the tube adjacent the surface 120. The light pipe 50 is also mounted within the tube, and it extends longitudinally down the tube so that its lower end is positioned adjacent the surface 119. A usual electric plug may be mounted at the upper end of the tube, the
plug having a plurality of prongs 132, as shown. The light pipe itself may extend up through a central aperture in the plug as also shown.
The lower end of the tube may be closed by a plug 134 formed, for example, of Teflon, or other appropriate material. The wires from the photocell 122 extend up the hollow passage in the tube, and these wires may be connected to appropriate pins 132 of the plug 130.
An appropriate electronic amplifier circuit for coupling a photocell 200 in the probe 22 to the meter 42 is shown in FIG. 6. In this circuit the blank adjust knob 28 controls a potentiometer 202 to set the meter 42 to 0 or reference calibration setting when a blank sample is sensed by the probe 22. This blank sample is used, for example, to set the meter to zero optical density for any particular test, even though the blank itself does not exhibit 100 percent optical transmission. This permits a full use of the meter scale to be realized. For example, the blank sample in a plasma test may include all the chemicals to be utilized with the exception of the plasma itself.
The knob 30 is used to control a potentiometer 204. The latter potentiometer sets the meter reading to any desired calibrated reading when a standard sample of known optical density, for example, is sensed by the probe. The potentiometer 202 may have a value of 100 kilo-ohms, and the potentiometer 204 may have a value of 500 ohms. An advantage of the two controls is that the full scale of the meter can be used for any particular test in that it can be set for zero optical density and a standard optical density at each limit of the scale, for example. An important feature of the circuit of FIG. 6, as will become evident as the description proceeds is that each adjustment may be made without affecting the other in any way.
As shown in FIG. 6, the cathode of the photocell 200 is grounded, and its anode is connectedto the negative input terminal of an operational amplifier 206. The operational amplifier may, for example, be an integrated circuit of the type presently designated No. 709 and available, for example, from Fairchild Semiconductors, Inc., of Palo Alto, California.
The positive input of the operational amplifier 206 is connected to the junction of a pair of resistors 216, 218, and its output is applied to the meter 42. The meter 42 may, for example, be an inexpensive 0l milliampere meter. It is shunted by a capacitor 208 which has a capacity, for example, of 4,000 microfarads, and which functions as a damper for the meter to prevent violent fluctuations of its needle. The meter is connected to one terminal of the potentiometer 204, the other terminal of which is grounded.
The operational amplifier 206 is excited by a 6-volt regulated direct voltage source, which has, for example, a +6 volt terminal and a 6 volt terminal with respect to ground. The blank adjust" potentiometer 202 is connected between the negative terminal of the source and ground. The movable arm of the potentiometer is connected to a 1.8 megohm resistor 210 which, in turn, is connected to a summing junction X with the output of the photocell 200 at the negative input of the operational amplifier 206. The resistor 210 acts as a summing resistor. A feedback resistor 212 having a resistance, for example, of 150 kilo-ohms, is connected between the potentiometer 204 and the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier 206.
The feedback resistor 212 could be connected directly from the output terminal of the operational amplifier 206 to the negative input terminal. However, the illustrated connection is preferable since it removes the resistance of the meter 42 from the circuit of the potentiometer 204. This simplifies circuit design since the value of the potentiometer 204 may be selected for a desired meter defection without the need to take the meter resistance into account.
The resistor 216 may, for example, have a resistance of l megohm, and it is connected to the movable arm of a potentiometer 214, the potentiometer having a resistance, for example, of kilo-ohms, and being connected across the and 6 volt terminals of the regulated direct voltage source. The resistor 218 may have a resistance, for example, of I kiloohm, and it is grounded.
A problem exists in that the voltage across the photocell 200 must be reduced to an absolute minimum,
since the leakage through the photocell is proportional,
to the voltage developed across it. The resulting leakage current is a function of temperature, and is critical at the current level at whichthe photocell is operated in the system of the invention.
The voltage across the photocell 200 may be minimized by balancing the input to the operational amplifier 206. This may be achieved, for example, in the illustrated circuit; by connecting the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier to the junction of the resistors 216 and 218, instead of directly to ground. These resistors serve as a fractional bleeder, and the adjustment of the potentiometer 214 shifts the reference potential of the amplifier to a point at which the voltage across the photocell 200 is nulled. The potentiometer 214 is a factory adjustment, and is set to the null value, for example, at the factory.
The energy generated by the photocell appears as a positive current at the negative input of the operational amplifier 206. This positive current is bucked out by the potentiometer 202, as will be described. The resultant current is amplified and flows as a positive current through the meter 42 and through the potentiometer 204. The current also flows through the feedback resistor 212, and the tendency is to force the summing junction X towards zero potential with respect to ground. Thus the photocell 200 looks into an effective low impedance which provides for precise linear operation of the photocell.
The blank adjust potentiometer 202 sums a pre-set negative current with the output of the photocell at the summing point X. As mentioned, the function of this potentiometer is to set the current flow in the meter 42 in the presence of the blank sample. The blank sample represents the maximum output of the photocell 200 for any particular test, and this is set to give zero meter current by the potentiometer. Then any lesser outputs from the photocell, as samples of greater than the blank optical density are tested results in a negative current at the negative input of the operational amplifier. This negativecurrent is amplifier and flows as a positive current through the meter 42. The potentiometer 202 permits, therefore, the meter 42 to be set to zero for any desired blank sample, regardless of the actual percent optical transmission of the blank.
The aforesaid adjustment is made with zero current through the meter 42 and through the potentiometer 204 so that the setting of the potentiometer 204 has no effect whatever on the aforesaid blank adjustment of the potentiometer 202. After the blank adjustment has been made, the blank sample may be replaced by a standard sample, and the potentiometer 204 may be set so that the meter reading for the standard sample is v such that full scale capacity of the meter 42 is used for the particular test.
Since the operational amplifier operates in conjunction with the feedback resistor 212 to maintain the summing point X at essentially zero potential, the standard adjust potentiometer 204 may now be set to any desired meter deflection for the standard sample without disturbing the previous setting of the potentiometer 202 in any way.
The disclosed circuit of FIG. 6 is advantageous in that it is simple and it employs inexpensive components. Moreover, it is simple to adjust in order to take full advantage of the meter scale, as described above. It will be appreciated, therefore, that the invention provides a simple diagnostic unit which is small and compact, and which is extremely simple to operate, and is capable of providing results for any selected tests on a directly calibrated basis.

This terrific reference book condenses the material of at least five huge volumes on Web site construction into a single small one. It doesn't teach how to develop and maintain a Web site, but it puts all the commands, syntax information, and related knowledge where you can find them quickly. Sections cover HTML, CGI, HTTI, JavaScript, and server configurations. Each section begins with a brief overview of the topic then follows with a series of well-organized lists, charts, and other reminders to help you rapidly find a little-used command or forgotten bit of information. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

DOWN AFTER EARNINGS: Yum! Brands (YUM), down 16.7%. ALSO LOWER: Advaxis (ADXS), down 25.3% following its report of a clinical hold of axalimogene filolisbac... ContraVir (CTRV), down 11.8% after filing to sell common stock and warrants... Adobe (ADBE), down 3.7% after providing growth target guidance for fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2016 guidance... McDonald's (MCD), down 2%, Starbucks (SBUX), down 1.3% following Yum! Brands results.
Restaurant stocks exposed to China slide after Yum Q3 results
Shares of restaurant stocks with exposure to China are sliding in the after-hours after Yum! Brands (YUM) reported third quarter financial results and guidance. WHAT'S NEW: Yum! Brands reported Q3 EPS of $1.00 and revenue of $3.43B, below analysts' respective expectations of $1.07 and $3.68B. Additionally, the restaurant company lowered its fiscal year 2015 EPS growth view to low-single-digit positive from its prior view of at least 10% growth. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Yum! Brands said it sees China FY15 same store sales low-single-digit negative. Yum! Brands provided the following statement on China sales: "While it remains difficult to forecast China sales, we are now estimating full-year same-store sales to be low-single-digit negative. For the fourth quarter, this assumes mid-single-digit same-store sales growth for the Division, with positive same-store sales growth at KFC and negative same-store sales at Pizza Hut Casual Dining. Given a slower-than-expected recovery in China sales, particularly at Pizza Hut Casual Dining, as well as stronger foreign exchange headwinds, we now expect full-year EPS growth to be low-single-digit positive." PRICE ACTION: Shares of Yum! Brands are down 17% to $69.40 in after-hours trading. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other restaurant stocks with exposure to China include McDonald's (MCD) and Starbucks Corporation (SBUX). McDonald's is lower by 2%, while Starbucks is down 1.5% in after-hours trading.

General Mills issues voluntary recall of Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios
General Mills is voluntarily recalling several days of production of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereal produced at its Lodi, California facility on certain dates in July of this year because of an undeclared allergen - wheat - with potential adverse health effects. Because this recall relates to an undeclared allergen, this is a Class I product recall. Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios produced on these dates at the company's Lodi, California facility are being recalled because an isolated incident resulted in wheat flour being inadvertently introduced into the gluten free oat flour system at its Lodi facility. As a result, the products may contain an undeclared allergen - wheat - in products labeled as gluten-free. General Mills will recall and retrieve affected cereals produced on those dates from customer warehouses and store shelves. Consumers with wheat allergies, celiac disease or gluten intolerance should not consume products bearing the affected code dates and should contact General Mills for a replacement or full refund. This voluntary recall includes four days production of original (yellow box) Cheerios, and thirteen days of production of Honey Nut Cheerios at its Lodi, California facility with the following "BETTER IF USED BY" code dates and the plant code LD which indicates the product was produced at Lodi, California.

Dunkin' Brands sinks after announcing plans to close 100 U.S. stores
Shares of Dunkin' Brands (DNKN), a franchisor of quick service restaurants specializing in coffee and baked goods, are falling after the company projected third quarter U.S. same-store sales that fell below the prior year period.

Looking further ahead, Dunkin' Brands said it is targeting up to 15% adjusted EPS growth over the next 5 years along with mid to high single digit revenue growth and 10%+ adjusted operating income growth. It's also targeting U.S. comps growth of 2%-4% over the next five years along with total net unit development of 4%-6%. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Dunkin' estimated that same-store sales will grow 1.1% in Q3 at its U.S. Dunkin' Donuts stores compared with a 2% increase in the year-ago period. Additionally, the company said it expects to close 100 Dunkin' Donuts U.S. stores in 2015 and 2016. Dunkin' noted that its gross openings forecast remains unchanged. PRICE ACTION: In late morning trading, Dunkin' Brands fell $5.34, or about 10.8%, to $43.71 on more than four times its average daily trading volume. Including today's pull back, the shares have lost approximately 1% over the past 12 months.

Starbucks is launching Mobile Order & Pay in the UK
Starbucks is launching Mobile Order & Pay in the UK, allowing customers to pre-order their favourite drinks and food in over 150 London stores and save time in the queue. The company said, "Rolling out from 1st of October, the new feature, available exclusively within the Starbucks App, offers customers greater convenience: the ability to customise their drink and food orders as well as time savings of up to 10-15 minutes. Using the App allows customers to order ahead from the Starbucks menu. Following confirmation, orders are immediately sent to the chosen local Starbucks store where baristas begin preparing the order and an approximate collection time is sent to the customer to pick up their order directly from their barista - skipping the queue. Users of the app are also rewarded with exclusive opportunities to earn Stars with the My Starbucks Rewards loyalty programme. The App has received a very positive response from customers in the United States where it has been available since December 2014. According to customer feedback, the App typically saves commuters and working people 10-15 minutes in their day; parents with young children find it easier to order ahead than stand in line, while speech and hearing-impaired customers have hailed the App as a 'game changer' in helping them to get their correct order, fast."

Wow! -
By: Suited from Kailua, HI
Top 25 Contributor
I never looked better in pants. Took a chance and ordered a size smaller, since they were stretchy and a bit shorter than usual. They were perfect. Love the slim but not tight fit and the light knit. They're my go-to pants forever!
great pants -

Slim legs which I need. Will pack well and continue to look great.
pretty darn good -
By: marteee from Pittsburgh PA
The Ponte-Knit pants are very comfortable and feel soft as a marshmallow. My only complaint and reason for four stars is that they do not have pockets. I'm short and squat at 5'1" with a waist of a grand one and a half inches, difficult to fit. This style was just perfect in all other aspects.
SLIM n' TRIM...LOVE 'EM! -
By: OrvisGramps from Central FL
Top 1000 Contributor
Just bought my 2nd pair ...will keep these for "dress" and wear my first pair for errands. Have compared "this" Ponte with other ponte fabric brands and feel "hands-down" these slacks are of a finer lighter weight fabric...very UPSCALE appearing. :) They do not cling, run true to size and enhance one's figure. Try 'em.. You'll LIKE them!.
Too short -
By: Sagg
I loved the fabric and cut of these pants but they were too short so I returned them. At 5'4" I was expecting a length like the picture that appears to come to the top of the model's foot. However, they were above my ankle bones and not really flattering regardless of the kind of shoes I tried with them.
Good fit, length -
By: MIPetite from East Lansing, MI
Took a chance on non-petite pant. Love the fabric and flat waistband that hits at just the right place on my 5'1" short-waisted frame. Length perfect. Best for travel with wrinkle-free wash&dry.
Didn't work for me. -

The pants ran small. I sent them back. The material seemed okay.
Comfortable -
By: Ohgram from Elmore, Ohio
Top 500 Contributor
This pant is very comfortable with a nice quality fabric. I have washed them and they come out perfectly with no wrinkles and ready to wear again. The waste band is flat which gives the pants a more finished look. My only desire would be that these come in petite as on my 5'1" frame they are too long.
Love These Pants -
By: LindaSk from Wyoming
I ordered a pair of these a couple years ago in large and loved the fit, leg width, feel and travel ease. I've lost weight and ordered them in a medium but they are too short (I'm 5'9") and I'm so disappointed. Wish they came in tall!

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

Originally Norwegian Caribbean Line, Norwegian Cruise Line dates to 1966, when the first of the White Fleet of brand-new ships—Sunward, Skyward, Starward and Southward—began sailing out of Miami. After the initial burst of success, expansion continued sporadically until 1980 when NCL rehabilitated the former French trans-Atlantic liner France into the Norway, instantly handing NCL the largest, longest and most spectacular cruise vessel afloat. In the early 1990s, the Dreamward and Windward entered service boasting four intimate reserved-seat restaurants, but overall the fleet was not equal in atmosphere, and the cabin assignment generally determined the dining locale. To attempt to unify the increasingly mismatched fleet, the NCL fleet received Norwegian prefixes but it was not until Star Cruises, a Malaysian company, took over that the line began investing heavily in new tonnage. Its ships now rival those of Carnival Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean. The present fleet dates from the 21st century, and the line's two trademarks are varied and high-end entertainment venues and Freestyle cruising, where passengers dine when and where they wish in two score of locations. NCL's ownership is split between the Genting Group (Malaysia) and Apollo Management (USA). Subscribe to travel42 to read the full review » Copyright (c) 2015 Northstar Travel Media, LLC. travel42.
